Paternity testing should be mandatory at birth:

"In the early 1970s, a schoolteacher in southern England assigned a class science project in which his students were to find out the blood types of their parents. The students were then to use this information to deduce their own blood types (because a gene from each parent determines your blood type, in most instances only a certain number of combinations are possible). Instead, 30 per cent of the students discovered their dads were not their biological fathers." - Mommy's little secret

However, many sources put the figure at around 10-20%. Still an astounding number.

As I and others mentioned in other comments, the high rate is because these tests are ordered by people who already have a reason to suspect something.

Still, as a woman, I don't actually have a problem with paternity testing being standard at birth, as long as it's not overly expensive. The man doesn't have to worry about questioning things or creating relationship strife by asking for a paternity test. The woman doesn't have to worry about being unfairly accused later if the baby doesn't really look like dad or just if the man accuses it when they're arguing or something. If they split, paternity matters are already settled. Sounds fair enough to me really.

I hope you do understand that 40% of tests made in DNA testing center proving false doesn't mean that 40% of men overall raise kids that aren't theirs.

“40%”…. this is because the people seeking our paternity tests have reason to be suspicious, so the number isn’t representative of the actual population. I also do wonder how many of these are out of hookups and one night stands where the man wants to prove that he’s not father after

That being said - if you’re in a committed relationship, and y’all trust each other, asking for a paternity test is straight up paranoia. All it says is “I don’t trust you, even though i am committed to having a child with you”…. which, if you have these kinds of trust issues, don’t have children lol

Reminds me of this recent story.

These quoted stood out in particular:

"Let's live like our forefathers lived. The child born in the house is your child," lawmaker Sarah Opendi said in parliament.

And

"Anything that you don't know can't kill you. If you don't know that this is not your child, it won't break your heart. But when you find out your heart will be broken," Margaret Muhanga said.

Hmm, funny how ye olden days are desirable to them when it's in best their interests...
